OMFG Noltem artwork

[lurch70]

is this supposed to be a drawing of the same image as your avatar?

 

[MFJ]

no. if it were, it would be the worst copy ever.

while I still dislike the picture... i'm curious to see what it would look like with Noltem top left and Runedance a bit larger on the bottom still?

I dunno... tossing suggestions... perhaps when I hear the CD (cause i'll be getting on fo sho) the cover will grow on me.

all looks pretty good, but the lime green part ... it just does not work there ... it's the wrong colors ... and still not sure what it is supposed to be.

dare I say remove that alltogether and just leave the grimness of the woods and sky

 

[MFJ]

yeah... in all honestly I could have a picture of feces on the cover and not be too bothered by it. If anyone here is going to let an album cover sway their decision of the music a lot, then clearly they have their head up their ass.

well it's not of my avatar, but it IS the aurora borealis

Awesome cover, My EP I will be taking photographs in the forest soon and I will photoshop to my liking! It is set to come out December 2005!

The more times I look at the cover, the more it seems to grow on me. The bottom and the far right of the aurora look the best to me.

I didn't like it at first...

we all KNOW your music and how much it rules ... but for the newcomer ... this is not a good presentation on what lies within.

It reminds me of the A. Tolonen: art for the split for the Agalloch/Nest Split.

no, the point is "let the music speak for itself"

Ya, but this thread has nothing to do with the actual music. It is about the cover art and our thoughts/comments.

 

[lurch70]

then why even bother with a cover ...
as much as most of you like to deny it ... artwork has a lot to do with the purchasing decision (not for me or most here ... but in general, when trying to be swayed into trying something new and you need that "pick me up/look at me" part)

 

[MFJ]

my point: just don't judge a book by its cover!!!

If I saw this in a store, I would have my hands all over it in a second.

this cover says to me: ... "within lies unprofessional childish music" ...

which is not the case at all !!!

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

hehe... so if some band had a fancy logo and shitz and their cover was done in crayon by a 4 year old you'd assume they must really rock

 

[lurch70]

i think we are too biased here ...
post this and get some opinions on the Code or Elitist forums ... see what the pros say

 

[MFJ]

Ehhhhhh whatever... I'm just sharing the progress. All that matters is what you guys think once you've actually heard the music!
